Qǐfēi, a pomegranate spirit, had wished to cultivate to immortality for thousands of years. However, just as she was about to reach the final step, she was struck by lightning, losing all her cul...
It has to be said that arguments in rural areas are much more exciting than those in cities.
As the two argued, their focus shifted from Qifei to exposing each other's gossip.
At first, Qifei didn't know how to separate the two, but later she blinked her big eyes and listened to the gossip with great interest.
There are so many grudges and feuds in such a small village; it's much more exciting than what's shown on TV.
When Shura saw Qifei listening intently to the gossip in the crowd, he couldn't help but smile.
This terrified the monkey nearby. "Boss, are you possessed?" it cried.
Shura suppressed his smile, glanced at the monkey, and the monkey immediately fell silent.
The argument between the two women quickly attracted the village chief, who angrily roared, "What are you two doing? Don't you want your work points anymore?"
The two finally quieted down when the topic of work points came up.
But neither of them was convinced and they looked at each other defiantly, as if they wanted to tear each other's mouths apart.
"What are you all looking at? Get back to work! Don't you want your work points today?" The village chief glared at the onlookers, and they immediately dispersed.
The educated youth team leader walked up to Qi Fei, his eyes filled with urgency.
"Comrade Qifei, don't listen to those old ladies."
Things like finding a man in the countryside so you can do less work.
It would be best if you could manage to get back to the city. If that's hopeless, find someone who is also from the city.
That way, the two of them will have common topics to talk about, don't you think?
Qi Fei looked innocently at the educated youth team leader, "I haven't thought that much about it yet."
Besides, I've only been here a few days, so I'm not thinking about those things yet.
Who I marry and how I get married are things for the future.
I'm still young, there's no rush for those things.
As Shura followed behind, he heard what Qifei said and couldn't help but smile.
I don't know who swore they liked him yesterday, but their words have changed today.
"It's alright, Comrade Qifei." The youth team leader smiled at Qifei. "There's a movie screening in the next village tomorrow night, shall we go see it together?"
"Hmm? A movie?" Qifei was quite curious when this was mentioned.
At that time, there were relatively few entertainment options, and movies were even rarer.
It's alright in the city; there are movie theaters, although they show fewer films, you can still see them.
However, it's not so easy to see in the countryside, which is why Qifei was so curious about the movie-watching that the educated youth team leader mentioned.
"Yes, tomorrow night, right after we finish work and have dinner, we can go." The educated youth team leader's voice was full of nervousness, wondering if Qifei would agree.
"Okay." Qifei didn't think too much about it; she was eager to see what it was like to watch a movie in the countryside.
The youth team leader was delighted. "Then let's go together after we've eaten tomorrow."
"Okay, sure." Qi Fei nodded, said goodbye to the educated youth team leader, and their two teams worked in different places.
Shura pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable when he heard Qifei accept the invitation from the educated youth team leader.
However, he had no right to stop Qifei from going.
He glared fiercely at the back of the educated youth team leader, suppressing his urge to attack.
The youth team leader felt a chill run down his spine. He looked back but saw nothing. Puzzled, he scratched his head and quickly caught up with the people in front of him.
Shura silently followed Qifei after withdrawing his gaze, all the way to the place where she went to work.
When the squad leader, who had assigned tasks to everyone, saw Shura, he already considered Shura an outsider who shouldn't be included in the work.
I've already spoken to the village chief about this.
If they still consider Shura, who is often nowhere to be seen, as their squad leader, they are at a disadvantage. They need someone to help him with the field work every day. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens every time, how can they manage?
"Hey, Shura, you'll be paired with Qifei, you two can work together."
Anyway, Qifei works slowly, so it's a good opportunity to have Xiu Luo help her.
Didn't Shura help Qifei with some work before? This arrangement will be fine.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, but neither of them said anything about the squad leader's arrangement.
However, when the two of them were paired up, something rather strange happened.
Qifei kept her head down and worked silently in front of her, while Xiuluo followed behind her.
In the past, Qifei's little mouth never stopped, and her words were like those of a nightingale, melodious and pleasant to hear.
He seemed rather taciturn today, which made Shura quite uncomfortable.
Thinking of Qifei's tears yesterday, Xiu Luo felt even more depressed.
It wasn't until the squad leader blew the whistle for a break that Qifei handed the water bottle to Shura and said her first words, "Comrade Shura, you've worked hard today, have some water."
The cold words made Shura feel very uncomfortable. In the past, Qifei would always smile sweetly at him, and he would feel that even when he was drinking water, his smile was sweet.
Silently taking the water, Shura said dryly, "Thank you."
Qifei ignored it and sat under the shade of a tree, wiping her sweat with a handkerchief.
Despite working on the farm for so many days, Qifei showed no signs of getting darker; her face remained fair and rosy.
My palms are still red, but blisters have stopped forming.
This alone made many educated youth very jealous, especially the girls who came with them.
Everyone's skin has darkened to varying degrees, but Qifei's skin is exactly the same as when she arrived, which makes people feel unbalanced.
They secretly observed what Qifei used to keep her skin so fair every day, but she only used ordinary face cream.
Some people even secretly opened the face cream she used and looked at it, but they didn't find anything different from theirs, even the scent was the same.
This made them even more disappointed. If they had used different skincare products, they could have comforted themselves.
They are exactly the same, one white and one black, which can only mean they are naturally beautiful.
Shura looked at Qi Fei's flushed face and said, "You can rest for a while. I can finish the rest myself."
Qifei, who was using a handkerchief as a fan, was considering whether to make a fan to bring with her when she went to work every day. When she heard Xiu Luo's words, her eyes flickered, but she did not reply.
But when it was time to work, she went to the fields again.
Didn't he tell her to stay away from him? She did just that.
I used to think that he would be my man sooner or later, and that it was only right for him to do more work.
Now that we've said we're going to draw a clear line, let's go all the way.
Although she works slowly, it doesn't mean she doesn't work.
Seeing that Qifei was still working hard in the fields with her head down, her clothes soaked with sweat, Shura couldn't help but quicken his pace.
If he finishes quickly, Qifei won't have to do anything more.
He didn't know why Qifei was disobediently sitting under the tree to rest. He had already said he would finish the work, but she insisted on getting down to the ground.
The two seemed to be in a competition, and they finished their assigned plots faster than the others.
After the work was finished, the team leader inspected the tools and nodded, telling the two to go back first and return the tools when they returned.
